I am always so tired. And I have a sore throat. I owe Gemma a letter since I got hers at the end of OCTOBER, I owe my Cinnamon an email, which by the way is going to go something like this, Cyn; "Nothing's going on, nothing has changed, I work, work and work, work is pretty shit, I hate work, I'm tired, that's about it, do you like my rhyme? Oh, and I have weird dreams." but with some filler rambling and stuff.
I wrote something Libertines the other day after looking at the prompt table I put on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
satj and the one Linda wanted to be Pete/Carl, but it sounds like everything else I ever wrote with them so I think it sucks and is repetitive and never posted it. I just want the Prophets to come back so I can be inspired, I'm really lacking. Although I wanted to write some CSI fic the other day after watching an episode. But no-one bloody READS it when I write it. Though why am I complaining, UI complained about that before and look what happened when people actually DID get into it *shudders* along came the badfic.
If only badfic didn't exist so much I'd really liked to have been part of a Christmas fic exchange. I've never been part of one of those, where you write a story for someone you might not even know, and get a story back in return, and you get to choose exactly what scenario you want, if you want. I always end up talking about fic first given the chance!
I keep waking up with a sore throat every morning, feels like there's a lump in it that hurts when I swallow, but it does ease up during the day. It's weird.
Carrie's got me something for Christmas when I specifically warned her that I wasn't getting anyone anything because I suck at giving presents because when Christmas comes all the good ideas fly out of my head, it's stressful, and I have no real time to do it in. I said it not expecting anything in return, and now I'm trying to think if there's anything I can get her that mommy perfect won't have gotten her so I won't feel guilty. Actually in my dream last night I was gonna get her War Of The Worlds on DVD (her fave actor is Tom Cruise) and she'd already bought it for herself. So fucking blah.
Yeah, weird dreams. one night I had at least three I remembered (not vividly, but remembered) and told them all to mum on the way to work, and she thought I was crazy. If I can still remember them today I might try and write them down just to have them noted somewhere.
I ordered about eight Silverchair singles from amazon.co.uk the other day (well seven, and one Dissociatives) because hi I need the singles by my fave band to have a nice collection! I think on average they cost me about £2-£3 each including p&p. So yay, pretty *pets singles*. Oh, one of them shoukld be on vinyl too.
I did that Christmas wishlist meme, but considering the boycott of Xmas I'm not posting it because that's just greedy. I just kind of did it to see how my ( mostly material ;) ) wishes had changed in the year. And it's sad that I still hate my job and want another even though it's a new job. I miss BHS quite a lot this Christmas, I had responsibility and trust last year, and I barely had to go near the till. It was stressful, but so is this job, with the added crap of nasty customers in a small space, customers who aren't 'all there' (Clacton seems to be the place for people with mental issues [is that politically correct?] from what I've seen I swear), bosses who seem to think one minute that I'm incompetant and the next I'm not, and Brenda who has turned from someone I actually almost liked into a petty, petty woman who makes sure Carrie and I aren't even on the same lunch break everyday for some stupid jealous reason or something. We've been working in completely different places all week, so I only see her on the walk home, and for about half an hour after work. That's not really enough time to talk and junk considering we could see each other a lot more in the entire day if people WEREN'T SO PETTY.
See, I've even forgotten what I was going tomoan ramble about next because it's so petty it annoys me. I even caught Carrie drafting out a letter of resignation during her lunch yesterday. Not because of that specifically, but because she doesn't want to be there in general anymore, but she's waiting til she gets her driving license (February hopefully) so she can expand her search for jobs to places she could drive to as well as cycle or walk to.
Hmmm what else. I'm reading one of the books I bought from amazon called Lion Of Senet by Jennifer Fallon, who seems to be pretty well known in the fantasy genre. All I can say is, why? I'm about halfway through the book or probably more, and there's just too many silly names, too many people not worth caring about, and why write an entire book almost just getting to the point where the "real king's" son goes to the capital when all the interesting stuff obviously happened twelve years ago when the civil war happened?! Too much straight-forward "he did this, she did that" and this character Tia is so a wannabe feminist it annoys me. And she's obviously going to end up shagging Reithan or whateverhisnameis. Even the description is straight-forward and boring. Make it more exciting and interesting jeeze!
I suppose I have enough interest in some of the characters to see how the rest of the trilogy turns out, but it's not really worth buying the rest of the series to find out. Maybe my library will have them or something. But hey, this is what I was hoping to accomplish; reading new things and finding out more about the genre I love most, and whether a lot of these writers are worth their praise. OR you know, maybe Robin Hobb and Jacqueline Carey are the only ones whose books are worth reading. Heeee, Kushiel's Scion comes out next June, birthday present ahoy!
Oh I did this thing again yesterday. I think I've been doing it pretty much since I first got the internet, years ago. I've probably done it at least once a year since, and the results always change a little, but not too much.
Oh dude! And this, if you haven't seen it, which everyone probably has:
[JonJonB] Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book
[JonJonB] Let's see the results...
Hey, it made melaugh snort giggle a little.
I might do those memespunk_in_chains did the other day. You know what, though I never have time to comment or update in the morning before work (the only time I'm not at work or tired!), I really don't have time, I've tried I swear, I always ALWAYS read everything, and I always manage to read punk_in_chains's (notoriously) epic posts. I swear I read every single WORD. In fact, I don't think I've read so avidly since I haven't had the time for anything else. It's nice in that way, but of course people write (semi) publicly to get a response now and then so I'm totally missing the gold star here. I mean well!
Well, I've been writing for half an hour, so I'll leave you with another (LJ) link I've been contemplating:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Good end, huh? ;)
